With LGR on hold again, our next Countryside Climate Network meeting will explore what this means for local climate action and how local authorities can protect, prioritise and strengthen local climate action ahead of further decisions and beyond the LGR transition.

Join us to hear new research from the University of Surrey on the impacts of LGR on local climate action, gather top tips from councils that have undergone unitisation, and explore practical action you can take now and in any new structures to maintain your climate compass.

This UK100 Countryside Climate Network meeting aims to equip members - whether a rural or urban - with the insights and ideas needed to successfully navigate this transformation...when it happens.

What you’ll get from the session

• Programme updates & opportunities: Share UK100 programme updates and discover new opportunities for your council to input and take part in shaping the future of local climate action.
• Protect your existing work: Learn practical ways to safeguard your current climate policies and projects ahead of LGR, with real examples from councils currently navigating the process and those who have successfully completed unitisation.
• Hit the ground running: Explore how unitary councils can utilise available levers to accelerate local climate action from day one and before, making the most of new structures and powers.
• Insights for your own proposals: Gather insights and ideas for inclusion in your own LGR preparation, including disaggregation, political leadership and more.

This is a UK100 membership only event.
